Everyone knows how frustrating they can be if you don't know the proper mechanics to get out of them. But the bottom line is, for the pros, bunker shots are some of the easiest shots on the course.
These steps will ensure that you have the right mechanics for getting out of bunkers. Once you've read these steps, practice them and get used to hitting out of bunkers, and they will become just as natural as a regular short game shot. These steps will give you the solid foundation that you need for bunker success.
Here are the steps: (note: These steps apply to a normal sand bunker. Not wet or hard sand)
1. Choke down on the golf club (Have your right index finger about an inch from the bottom of the grip). Choking down gives you control of the club and allows you to "feel" the shot rather than hitting it.
2. Narrow your stance a little and play the ball a few inches forward in your stance. This will also aid in controlling the shot, and it will contribute to higher ball flight.
3. Dig into the sand with your feet a little and get comfortable.
4. Keep your body completely still throughout (no twisting hips).
5. Start your swing with your arms and keep your swing vertical. The end of the grip butt should be pointed at the ball at the top of your backswing. (Don't bring the club straight back, remember steep is better here!)
6. Your left arm should be parallel to the ground and fully extended at the top of your swing.
7. Then start your downswing at the sand focusing to hit 1 inch behind the ball. Don't focus on hitting the ball, hit the sand an inch behind and the ball will get out every time!
8. Your arms and body follow the ball as it leaves the sand.
9. Remember - a steep angle into the sand is key here. You don't have to swing too hard; we are not blasting the ball out, we are advancing it.
Drill:
Go into a bunker and take 3 clubs your pitching wedge, sand wedge, and a lob wedge(if you have one). Remember that you can get creative with shots; just because it's a sand wedge doesn't mean that you'll "feel" the most comfortable or get the best results. But I want you to notice the difference in design and performance.
Hit a few shots with each club and really notice the difference in how the ball comes out of the sand. Then choose the club that bests suits you. But remember, with all these clubs swing steep and hit 1 inch behind the ball. You can even draw a line behind the ball and aim for that line.
At home, office, or at the course take practice swings and focus on bringing the club up at a steep angle. Watch as your grip end points to the ground. And stop there - this is the position that you want to be in. A great way to see if the grip is pointed over the ball is sticking a tee in the grip handle. Do that a few times to ensure that you know where to stop the golf club and start your steep downswing. Then the downswing is easy! Just hit an inch behind the ball. Practice this for a few days then go have fun in a bunker!

The Ping Golf Club: An Overview
For a golfer, one of the most important things that he should examine is his golf club because according to experts, it is one of the main reasons why they do not hit the ball. This is the exact reason why the Ping golf club was born.
Karsten Solheim was the one who invented the ping golf club with different intentions. The story has it that Karsten was practicing golf but he could not hit the ball so he started to practice up to the time that he began to design and experiment his very own putter so that he could play better through it. He thought of designing his own putter without a figment of a though that it would be known worldwide. By the year 1959, his putter experiments had evolved into 1A design. While deciding for the name, he heard the sound of his putter and declared proudly to his wife that he would name the putter from its sound, hence the name Ping? At that same year, Sports Illustrated published an article in their August issue regarding the ping golf club dubbing it as a musical putter.
This was the beginning of success for the ping golf club. At present, the Ping golf club is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona by Karsten Manufacturing Corporation. There are more than 400 patents registered for the ping golf club and each of these designs are all innovative and very original designs that are suited for each and every golfer. Here are some of their key patents and products:
In the year 1962, the Heel-toe weighting type of ping golf club was granted patent. This design was the one that revolutionalized other modern designs and golf clubs that are manufactured in the market today. In the year 1969, another type of ping golf club was introduced which was the perimeter-weighted, investment-cast iron. The reason for this type of ping golf club is that the perimeter weighting is able to increase the moment of inertia thus when a ball is not struck squarely on the face it makes the club more forgiving. Another innovative movement for the ping golf club was the application of investment casting in the manufacture of the K Series Irons. This is not really a new technology in fact; the old name for it is the lost-wax process. The purpose of this type of method is to ensure precise detail and consistency to all of the parts of the ping golf club. Another type of patent for the Ping golf club is the Cushin Selective Filtering Insert. This is a patented invention which screens out and disperses the unwanted frequencies that can harmfully affect muscle, bone, and connective tissue. Through this invention, the golfer receives less vibration with greater feel on each shot.
The reason why the ping golf club is popular and widely used is because of its innovative, ever-changing yet reliable design. These designs are what people, particularly golfers, recognize about ping golf club. lost one of your ping golf clubs? Do not worry because serial numbers are here to save you! In every ping golf club, there are serial numbers which are etched on every PING iron. If ever there is a need to replace one club, the company has the exact specs at the time of manufacturing on file and could actually build a new club to match your set.

GOLF EQUIPMENT: GEARING UP PROPERLY FOR GOLF
Like any other sports, golf requires that you are geared up correctly to be able to properly play the game. This article will give you an idea of basic golf equipment one requires to be able to learn and play golf.
For starters, the basic golf equipment is a golf ball. Golf balls are dimpled tiny balls, use in to play golf. They are dimpled to reach farther length when driven by golf clubs.
Another important golf equipment is a golf club or golf driver. Golf drivers come in different varieties. This is because a golf course has different landscapes and different golf clubs are required to make the proper drive. Depending on the landscape, either sand, grass or cement, a golf club is essential to make the perfect drive. Professional golfers usually have a bag or two of golf clubs to cater to their golf needs. Most golf stores and sports equipment store sell golf clubs. Some golf clubs are sold in sets while other are sold individually.
To protect your golf equipment, such as your golf club, a golf bag golf club cover is essential. A golf bag will, of course, hold your golf club in one place and will make it easier for your caddy to bring your many golf clubs. Golf bags can also hold golf balls and other golf equipment like water bottle to quench your thirst while under the sun or extra shirt or your regular shoes. On the other hand, a golf club cover covers the edge of your golf club. This is done so to protect your golf club from unwanted scratches and dents. Dents can cause your drive to go from ok to bad. Dents in golf clubs can affect the drive of your golf ball. With these golf equipment, you can take care of the state of your club and your game.
One golf equipment that you need to invest on is a good pair of golf shoes. Golf shoes are different from usual rubber shoes or walking shoes. Golf shoes are created to walk on greens - the type where the sport is played. Golf shoes usually have pointed rubber under the soles to grip the earth and sand under your feet. This way, unnecessary shaking or moving is avoided. This is important because shaking can cause you to not hit the golf ball or to hit the golf ball in the wrong direction. If you plan to play professional golf a good pair of golf shoes is a necessary golf equipment to add up to your list. Choose one that is sturdy yet comfortable enough for you to walk into. Golf is a sport that requires walking from one hole to another or to where your ball landed (you can not use golf carts on the greens) and thus, if your golf shoes are uncomfortable, you would have a hard time concentrating on your game.
A golf equipment usually provided by most golf courses (aside from the golf ball) is the tee. The tee is the tiny pin like thing that you punch to the ground to stand your ball into. The tee is use in teeing off (the start of your first drive) thus the name.
The most amazing golf equipment ever created (for me, that is) is the golf cart. Golf carts can take you from one hole to the other, though as I said earlier they are not allowed on the greens, they still lessen the burden of having to walk under the hot sun. This golf equipment can be acquired from golf courses. Golf players are usually made to use golf equipment such as this to give them a better and easier time playing the sport.
Many specialty shops and sport shops offer golf equipment. The internet is also a good source of golf equipment. Second hand golf equipment are even auctioned off the internet, if you are on a tight budget. Check out your local golf shop, sports shop, specialty shops, E-bay or Yahoo! for your golf equipment needs.

Callaway Golf Clubs?A Name That Golfers Recognize
Just as a golfing buff has a favourite course, he also knows exactly what he wants by way of clubs, balls and accessories. Such a person will surely have heard of Callaway clubs. Besides clubs, this brand is the most popular in golfing circles when it comes to golfing products in general. For those who choose Callaway products, the assortment of items on the market is phenomenal. There are products to suit every golfer, a few of which are described below.
A Callaway driver is special, since it enables the golfer to hit the ball to great distances. Many of these are not authorized and therefore one cannot use them in a tournament. Nevertheless, if there's no tournament involved and you just wish to practice driving, there's nothing like training with a Callaway driver. Styled for shots off the tee, a driver has a large head. Callaway designers take years to perfect the driver. While the shaft is light, the head is heavy and a great deal of skill goes into fashioning the flawless head. There is a range of models to choose from depending on size, angle of face etc. Most of the drivers are created with hollow heads.
A number of professional golfers swear by Callaway products. However, these clubs are not meant just for professionals. Many clubs and golf sets are specially wrought with the novice in mind. With the help of these clubs, the beginner can hone his skills at stroke making. Golf clubs that can be adjusted and a half set that is adequate to get a fundamental grasp of the game, without confusing the amateur, is what is recommended at the beginner's level. Once he gains experience and improves his game, the avid golfer can invest money on expanding his Callaway kit by checking out the catalogue online or visiting the store in the nearest golf club.
Besides golf clubs, you could pick up Callaway golf accessories from the Callaway outlets. Shirts designed to take the sting out of the harsh elements that you have to contend with when playing golf, practical and stylish hats/caps and shoes fabricated with the golfer's tread across tracts of grass in mind. These are a few of the items on offer for the keen golfer, who spends a great deal of time in the sun. These products are devised to provide shade and allow you to enjoy your game without the worry of getting sunburnt.
Callaway, like any other company that deals in golfing accessories, offers a variety of products to cater to the needs of novices, intermediary level golfers and masters of the game alike. It's up to you to recognize the product that suits your stage and style of the game. Decide in advance what kind of golf set is most appropriate for you and then shop for it. This strategy will also help those who assist you to help you find the most suitable golf set. The result will satisfy all concerned.

Custom Golf Club: Custom fitting golf clubs
Every golfer's physical capability and swing is distinctive. Many of today's best golf clubs can be custom fit for lie angle, shaft type and length, grip type and size. Custom fitting golf clubs involves several easy measurements and a quick self-assessment of your game. This custom golf club has become more than a fad that even not so professional golfers test its waters.
Custom fitting is the process for tailoring a golf club to suit your personal swing.
Whatever your level, with a custom golf club the aim is to ensure that if you do make a good swing, the club will be square at impact and should produce a straight shot.
Custom Golf Club How To's:
To custom fit your golf clubs, you need to know:
your gender (male or female);
your height in your stockings or socks;
the distance from your wrist (where it bends) to the floor with your shoes off;
your age;
your handicap or skill level;
how fast you swing a golf club;
what club you use at the 150 yard marker.
Gender is used to put you into the correct fitting scale for custom golf clubs. The golf industry uses different definitions of "standard length" for men and women.
Your height and the distance in inches from your wrist to the floor are used together to determine the length of a custom golf club that is appropriate for you. The starting point for club length can vary up to 3 inches ranging from ladies to men plus 1 inch. A tall person with long arms can very easily require shorter clubs than an average height person with short arms. About 80 percent of golfers are standard length.
Your age, handicap (if you happen to have one), self-assessed skill level, estimated golf swing speed and club you use at the 150 yard marker are all combined to determined the custom golf club's shaft flex that is appropriate for you.
Custom fitting can fix your slice. If you slice the ball it means that the toe of the club is leading into the ball which opens the face of the club. That may be down to a swing fault, but it could be because the club is too flat. So as part of the custom fitting process you can make the custom golf club more upright to help with this. This will mean that the toe of the club will be slightly off the ground at address to compensate.
There are different methods of fitting according to custom golf club manufacturers but ultimately they are all trying to improve your game. To begin with simple measurements such as wrist-to-floor, height and hand size are taken and will point you to the right size club and at what angle it should be to the ground. Then you will take a club and hit some balls. One method is to place impact tape on the bottom of the custom golf club and an impact board on the floor.
As you hit the ball the board will leave a mark on the tape showing whether the heel or the toe of the custom golf club is striking the floor first. The resulting mark will show whether the club face needs to be flatter or more upright. Then things get a bit more advanced. Analysis equipment can measure everything from your club speed to the side spin of the ball so that you can get maximum distance from your shot. You can also measure the launch angle of the ball, how much backspin you generate and impact efficiency - all which affect distance. The angle in which the custom golf club approaches the ball and the sidespin of it can help fix your game too.
Rather than bringing down your old clubs, it might be better to start from scratch. It's a big misconception that custom fitting is only for good golfers. Anyone can benefit. That said, if you plan to upgrade a new set of clubs with the same manufacturer they may be able to adjust your old set to become custom golf clubs.
Custom fitting won't cure all your bad shots. Coaching will sort that out. But if you do make a good swing, then the custom golf club will arrive correctly at impact and should produce a straight shot at your target. That alone will save shots during a round.
Lastly, custom fitting is often free of charge. But it is usually on the condition that you buy some clubs once you've been fitted. So it really depends on what your budget is. If you're prepared to buy a new set of clubs it's definitely worth getting fitted.

Choosing Golf Clubs For A Particular Game
Choosing the right club could be the most important part of your game of golf. If the technique of your stroke leaves something to be desired, then the right choice of a golf club may compensate for this very often. There are a lot of things that you may have to decide before making a choice of the golf club you want to play with. Once you begin, then you will see how to go ahead with the game and making a choice becomes part of that. Choosing the right golf club is one of the qualities of a skilled golfer and one of the ways of improving quickly, noticeably so in fact.
People who do not play golf regularly have a very difficult time believing that the 14 clubs that are in a golfer's bag will at some point be handy. However, with practice and time and as you play on a regular basis you will get to know that there are different situations in which each club will need to be used. If you are a beginner then your golf bag must have irons, putters, wedges and drivers. Each of these is used a couple of times in every game and most of them are made to correct those strokes that are not perfect. Make sure that you choose clubs that fit in with your skill type and level of playing.
A golfer's handicap will show what kinds of clubs he often carries in his bag. If a golfer scores about 10 strokes on an average that means his bag will look considerably different from that of another golfer whose score is 100 strokes on an average (this may sound ridiculous but it is fairly the standard score of someone who is new to golf). Golfers who belong to this category will carry more woods than irons, because woods provide a very high level of accuracy. Golfers who have a high skill level will carry clubs that will be less helpful in rectifying the mistakes and help in sending the ball rocketing in whichever direction it is sent to. This is one reason why golfers who are beginners take a skill level that is higher to master.
Adjustable clubs or hybrid clubs are also useful for beginners who are not so well versed with the game and who do not have a hold on their playing style. Hybrid clubs are those clubs that are between irons and woods. These clubs provide accuracy because of their short lengths and provide absolute distance with their heads that are especially designed for this purpose and are light and hollow. These clubs are unique and it takes some time to get used to them. Make sure to try out one at the store before you actually buy it and you will realize that it will add a new zeal to your game.
All these clubs are very vital for getting you to the golf course and to the hole. You should pay a lot of attention to a lot of things before you choose your golf clubs and make your game more enjoyable.

Beginner's Golf Clubs ?How and What to Choose
Once you're decided that golf is your game, the next item on your agenda is to find the perfect golf clubs. It is confusing when you are confronted with a great many advertisements, each brand laying claim to manufacturing the most innovative designs in terms of science and technology. The best option is to try the different brands until you come up with the one that best suits you. The right way to go about it is to seek out deals that these companies offer to beginners. Half golf sets or clubs that can be adjusted are what you should be looking for. A half golf set comes without the clubs used by seasoned golfers that might bewilder the beginner were they to be included in the pack.
A list of the more popular brands will help you make the right choice. If you are a novice, Ping might be the ideal brand for you. Well known in the market, they cater to beginners by offering half sets and clubs that can be adjusted. It is easier to practise your golfing skills with a few clubs that can be adapted to the style you wish to adopt. Once you have perfected your technique in stroke making, you might like to invest in a 14 piece golf set, since by then you will be familiar with the use of the various clubs. Magazines that are specific to golf have great praise for Ping products.
Each popular brand has a product that it is proud of and to Cobra it is the driver. A novice takes time to get used to the distance the ball travels when he drives, and it could unnerve him when he hits a ball and it goes to an uncomfortably long distance. He has to get the feel of the driver and the ball. Cobra drivers are easy to handle and ball control is learnt effortlessly with one of these.
Another globally popular brand is Titleist. Professionals swear by this brand. Although their beginner's set is a bit expensive, it is worth the price as it equals the best tutor you could have.
You could borrow or buy an old set of clubs, but the best way to have quality training and learn the right technique is to invest in branded clubs that have stood the test of time and suit your individual style. First, try the product in question and make sure it is the right choice for you. Survey the market, be aware of the brands and visit different games?stores that stock golf equipment until you come upon the clubs you deem perfect. All your clubs don't have to be of the same brand. For example, you could choose a club from Titleist and pick out a driver from Cobra if it pleases you. Take your time to decide. Your patience will be rewarded.
